Hello,

I have a problem when I try to use a calculated column in a new datasource (data from other datatsource).
In the stand alone designer the calculated column is not displayed when creating a new datasouce as data from other datasource.

I noticed that is works in the web designer but due to this thread I'm using the stand alone designer.

Not sure if I'm just missing something obvious here but it would be convinent to have this.

Regards Joakim

Hello,

Unfortunately, on the moment, calculated columns cannot be added to data source on the base of other data sources, because data by these columns, for further work with them, (sorting, filters) should be calculated.
In the next prerelease builds this option will also be removed from Web designer.

Thank you.

Ok, thank's for the update.

Thank you.

Hello,

I just want to clarify, what I meant was if I have a calculated column in a 'normal' datasource I would like to use that in a new data from other datatsource.
This is available to today in the webdesigner and we currently use it in many of our reports and it's been working fine.
However it's not available in the standalone report designer (.net version)

Will this function be removed from the web designer?

I'm sorry if I was unclear before I just want make sure I understand.

Hello,

At this moment we expect to see the ability to add calculated columns in Datasource based on another datasource. Either they will be retained, but will be removed from the list to sort and filter, or will be removed the possibility of adding them.
We will let you know in this topic about the result.

Thank you.
